STARVED CALVES

Many Y°nn* Animals Kept In

Are beef breeds of cattle more pre-
potent than dairy breeds? This ques-
tion has come to me after examining
many animals. On the range, at least
SO per cent, of the beef type from
good sires are good feeding stockers.
In swine and sheep the percentage
of good animals is equally large. Here
the exception is usually found in ani-
mals whose growth has been retarded
by some unfortunate condition, gen-
erally lack of food.
On the range the "dogie" or moth-

two young girl friends of sixteen

Is there harm in having a gentleman
friend of your own age at your home?
—Sunshine.
I see no harm In going quietly to the
Park together and behaving like young
girls should, nor In having a man vis-
itor at your home with the permission
of your parents. Men are not ogres,
and I regret to say that It Is often be-
cause girls aro so very careless with
themselves that we are forced to be
on guard. If girl* realized that they

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say,
When to Wear Them.
I enjoy your hints to the needy so
much that I thought I would come to
you for advice and also to settle an
argument. On what occasions aro silk
hose (all colors) worn? I contend
that they aro to be worn with "dressed

Am wrong? Please answer this
Plainly, so I may show your answer
to the other party.—Lettle.
With most people silk stockings are
a question of cost, and not propriety.
They may bo worn on every occasion,

and with the simplest morning gowns'

"My husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all

"I had stomach troublo, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-

was harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum I
took It home rather dubious what my
husband would say-he was fond of

"But I took coffee right off the table
